“What else can non whites ruin”

It's not "non whites" doing this.

"Evil cannot create. It can only mutilate and destroy."

.

You are totally correct.

I could go on (at some length) about how various individuals and
entities have PROVEN the TRUTH of what you just stated - repeatedly.

But it is the weekend - and time to curtail - or at least limit - the tales of woe and destruction.

Right?

Of course - now back to making - CREATING - pancakes.
Pancakes of course being but one weapon in our mighty arsenal of "Anti-Evil".

Right?
Of course.

But most importantly - Have a Merry New Year!

I guess being Indian wasn’t redeeming enough victim points so she has to go lesbian now?

Every time I hear anything about her, she is complaining how racist everything is and what a victim she is. Yes yes. Just another poor “woman of color” who is being paid millions of dollars to pretend on TV.

I never understood the media viability of Kaling other than she was an American of Indian descent that media wanted to promote as some sort of diversity example.

Velma was rumored by hipster types to be a lesbian all along, and in some later versions of the character and the show she was.

Now she's Indian, or "South Asian." There are conflicting reports about whether she will be lesbian in the new series. It is true that Daphne will have two moms in the new show.

I was surprised out how many versions of the Scooby Doo series and characters there had been. Also surprised by how invested a lot of people are in characters that somebody probably dreamed up in a few minutes. If people aren't upset about Velma being a lesbian they are upset about her not being lesbian.

She isn’t pretty, has a bad body, and her voice is shrill.

With over half a billion Indian chicks, we get her…

I only remember the awful cartoon from the 80s. I don’t recall any sexuality in the cartoon. It was just a goofy kids cartoon.

But I’m old now. I guess an old cartoon has to homo everything now.
